It will produce many non-relevant results for query: "OS + Core 2 duo" from G*.search.engine.ai.now :-P

Btw: For all who don't want pay a lot of money.

MEBUS has interesting smartwath HW [1] here in EU. This smartwatch cost *only* 9.90 EURO per Unit in supermarkets (2025-March Albert/Kaufland/LIDL)

May be someone can find how to reflash it... Quite good design high availability here in EU ultra low cost.
